  • Clamshell moon tonight?

    I am hoping for good things for the world from tonight’s full moon, which I relate to the giant clamshell in the Haida creation legend
    of The Raven and the First Men.

    Even if not, full moon (and lucky, at least for pagans, 13)
    blessings on any readers.

    Since a clamshell is not perfectly circular, perhaps it
    represents the current waning gibbous moon.
